Back compat ?

[Paul Hammant-3]

Mike/Mauro,

If we're renaming classes, should we deprecate or delete the old class  
name ?

CommandLineArgumentsPicoContainer.java
   A    pico/container/src/java/org/picocontainer/containers/
CommandLinePicoContainer.java

Good question.  Is there anybody actually using the CommandLinePico right now,
or is it serving more as an example of operation?

If the former, then I'll definitely put a deprecated stub there, if latter, then
I'm all for just deleting the old class.

For some reason, I had it in my head that CommandLinePico hadn't really been
"released" yet, but... geeee DUH, I think it's been there for what, 4 versions
now?  :)

I agree - let's see if deprecation is necessary.  Being the fix a simple
rename, I would opt for a simple note in the release notes.  But not
against deprecation if you prefer.

Cheers

I'd prefer to put in a deprecated subclass with the old name.  I'm in  
agreement with the new name of course.
